I just started a new evaluation of core-updates and am reconfiguring my
GuixSD system based on it.

Let's use this thread to discuss the state of the branch.

Would this be the time to enable the ACL tests as previously discussed?

Hydra is building now. Let's see if we need to make more changes that
will cause lots of rebuilds. If so, we'll enable the ACL tests.
Otherwise, let's wait for the next one. Technically we are still in the
same cycle but I think a lot of us took a break in the middle of it.
Since it was still the "same one", I forgot to look at
core-updates-next.

The test suite of glib on x86_64-linux appeared to time out, so I
restarted it:

core-updates failing packages

[Leo Famulari]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1595 bytes --]

The armhf port is currently blocked while we try to build Guile 2.2.2,
so I'm focusing on x86_64-linux for now.

Here is a list of failing packages on x86_64-linux that need some help:

gnome-mime-data fails due to a regex parsing issue that was exposed by
the update to Perl 5.26.0:
https://hydra.gnu.org/build/2170234

go-1.8 fails due to the same regex parsing issue:
https://hydra.gnu.org/build/2168634

gengetopt fails:
https://hydra.gnu.org/build/2169271

guile-bash fails:
https://hydra.gnu.org/build/2171039

ngs-sdk fails due to the Perl 5.26.0 change to a "dotless INC":
https://hydra.gnu.org/build/2171274

metabat fails:
https://hydra.gnu.org/build/2171756

perl-class-accessor-grouped fails due to dotless INC (patch available on
upstream bug tracker):
https://hydra.gnu.org/build/2170942

perl-http-parser-xz fails due to dotless INC:
https://hydra.gnu.org/build/2172752

perl-object-signature fails due to dotless INC (patch available on
upstream bug tracker):
https://hydra.gnu.org/build/2172672

perl-test-script fails due to dotless INC:
https://hydra.gnu.org/build/2174900

perl-unicode-normalize fails due to dotless INC:
https://hydra.gnu.org/build/2171416

perl-www-curl fails due to dotless INC:
https://hydra.gnu.org/build/2174250

perl-xs-object-magic fails due to dotless INC:
https://hydra.gnu.org/build/2170768

python2-pexpect fails:
https://hydra.gnu.org/build/2168957

quilt fails due to that Perl 5.26.0 regex parsing issue:
https://hydra.gnu.org/build/2169903

zsh fails its tests. I've noticed this test suite is unreliable:

Hi Leo,

Thanks for taking the time to list these issues - helpful.

This fails due to the issue described at 
https://bitbucket.org/berkeleylab/metabat/issues/28/compilation-fail-with-boost-164

I have a patch ready but will push this as a part of a series that 
updates htslib to 1.5. Just to say that I'm working on it and noone else 
should spend time on this, I'm almost there.

I was also thinking of updating ruby. Are we planning on merging the 
staging branch before core-updates?

Thanks for letting me know.  I was working on this, too, but it was
quite a bit more work than a normal update, so I shelved it.

Please also try building all packages that are affected by the update to
htslib.

Indeed, that was the hard bit. I pushed changes to master in a series 
ending in f3f68a442c1c.

I will push the core-update-specific metabat patch once master is next 
merged into core-updates.

Thanks,

I wasn't aware people were working on the staging branch. If the changes
are not very disruptive, perhaps we could merge it into core-updates.
Otherwise, I'd rather wait.

Also, until we have more powerful hardware running hydra.gnu.org, I
don't think we have the capacity to do staging branches right now.

We are barely able to keep the master branch built, and building
core-updates is frustratingly slow.

To illustrate, I started an evaluation of core-updates ~7 days ago, and
it is still not done building due to the under-powered armhf builders
and the need to juggle resources to build the master branch.

Agreed.  More specifically, I’d merge ‘staging’ after ‘core-updates’ has
been merged.

Re: core-updates failing packages

[Ludovic Courtès]

Hello Guix!

I’ve just pushed a few fixes (Perl “dotless @INC” issues,
python-pexpect, gnome-mime-data), which should allow us to go further.
I’ve started a new evaluation.

Please people take a look at
<https://hydra.gnu.org/jobset/gnu/core-updates#tabs-evaluations> so we
can merge this branch before the summer ends.  :-)

You can also try rebuilding your GuixSD on ‘core-updates’, or upgrade
your profile, and see whether you encounter problems.

Honestly things look rather good now, so I’m confident.

Cheers,
Ludo’.

Yes, please test, especially with your graphical applications or
systems, and with the more esoteric stuff like the bioinformatics
software.

I've been running my headless server on the branch for a couple weeks
now and things seem okay.

I'm running two systems off 'core-updates' now (including this one!) and
the only "regression" I've noticed so far is that fonts look...better.

Any ideas why? Not a blocking issue, obviously :-)

I think this is the best page to look at:

https://hydra.gnu.org/eval/109728?compare=master&full=1

It compares the latest core-updates evaluation with master, and one can
choose "newly failing jobs" to see the regressions.

There's a lot of perl related build failures. Maybe it would be better
to revert the perl update and work on updating perl and all the perl
modules separately. It seems to me that there are a large number of perl
packages that haven't been updated in quite some time.

Reverting is not an option at this point IMO.  There are several Date::*
modules required by Biber that FTBFS and need an update, indeed, but I
think we should rather find a way to fix them (I spent a bit of time on
it but then moved on to something else.)

Thoughts?

A quick run on my computer showed 523 packages that start with 'perl-', apparently all but one build on master but about 90 fail on core-updates. A bunch have newer versions upstream, which would involve packaging some new Perl modules also. It doesn't sound too bad, I don't think too many have hundreds of dependants so we should be able to get through it.

The "stereotypical" Perl 5.26.0-related failures are the "dotless @INC"
and regex brace-escaping issues. Both of these can be fixed downstream
(in Guix) fairly easily, if necessary.

I'll work on building Biber now.

Are there any other failing Perl modules that we *need* to fix? I think
we can't achieve zero regressions from an update like this, especially
since so many of these modules seem to lack an active upstream. So, if
Guix users care about them, they should speak up now :)

Not as a reason to put it off, but Debian is beginning their Perl transition and I've noticed some of the modules I've looked at have Debian developers as the upstream.

I've got the Date::* modules building with the attached patch series.
However, biber and biber-next fail their test suites. The last part of

biber-next passes its tests when updated to 2.7, the latest upstream

Woow, impressive patch set!  At first sight the 26 patches look
reasonable to me, so I would suggest pushing them, along with the
biber-next@2.7 update you mentioned.

As for biber itself, perhaps the best option is to make biber-next the
new biber?  I don’t use it so I can’t really tell whether there’d be
undesirable consequences.

Another option might be to mass-escape left braces in the Biber code,
but that’s probably not that easy…

Thoughts?

Anyway, this patch series probably closes the main blocker for
core-updates no?

Thanks,
Ludo’.

Ricardo added biber-2.5 in 253cdd6c1464c944be2418ee9161f5f5b57e0eee.
Ricardo, can you check if it's still necessary?

I'll try it. The upstream changes suggest it might not be that hard.

AFAIK, but I'm only testing x86_64-linux, and I'm not running a
graphical system.

I tried to find out myself, but the location of the relevant information
is not documented in our packaging.

After looking at the relevant changes in biber, I think the whole
compatibility situation is very brittle. The biber test suite hard-codes
hashes that are generated by 3rd party tools, but those tools' output
changes periodically. Somebody who uses biber needs to figure out what
should be done with biber-2.5 and test it.

I added Biber 2.5 because the latest version is incompatible with our
version of “texlive”.

The comment above it says:

;; Our version of texlive comes with biblatex 3.4, which is only compatible
;; with biber 2.5 according to the compatibility matrix in the biber
;; documentation.

We haven’t yet updated the big texlive and texlive-bin packages to the
2017 versions.  (Actually, I have tested an update for the texlive-bin
package, but not for “texlive-texmf”.)

If we upgrade those two, I’m pretty sure we won’t need Biber 2.5 any
more and can replace it with what is currently biber-next.

I would suggest not to spend too much time on Biber 2.5 as it is on its
way out — it just needs a texlive-texmf update.

(All of our small tex packages are from the 2017 release of TeX Live.
We really should just upgrade texlive-texmf and texlive-bin.)

I'll try these changes this weekend, unless someone beats me to it --
that would be nice :) AFAIK it's the last blocker for core-updates.

The attached patches update texlive to 2017 and remove biber-2.5.
Ricardo, can you check if biber@2.7 works with these patches?

For some reason even the updated patches didn’t apply correctly, so I
applied them manually (maybe it’s a problem on my end).  I’ve tested
biber on one of my old projects and it works as expected:

The warning about “unescaped left brace in regex” is ugly, but it
doesn’t break anything.

I’ve pushed the three commits to core updates (c97fbf55e).

Great! I've started a new evaluation. I think this could be the last
one.

I did not follow the new modular texlive packages, but it looks as if
at the same occasion texlive-minimal could be removed? I added it only
to have a smaller package for building documentation of other packages,
but all dependent packages have been switched to use the modular texlive.

Thanks for pointing it out. I've removed texlive-minimal and
texlive-texmf-minimal in the revise patches I'm sending to Ricardo.

I've also used `guix pull` to update my users's Guix installation to
core-updates, and updated my user's packages. So far, so good.

I haven't tested a graphical installation. Somebody who uses a GuixSD
desktop should try this once Hydra has built more packages (tomorrow?).

It looks like the initrd is still running Guile 2.0 but getting 2.2
modules.

This should be fixed with this patch, which I haven’t been able to test
yet:

Ooh, hmm, could you “strace -f shepherd”?

For the record, I can build my laptop config as of
v0.13.0-1469-g588bd05fc (X11, SLiM, OpenSSH, etc.)  I haven’t tested in
a VM yet because there are no QEMU substitutes.  It looks like we’re
getting there!

Thanks,

'guile-default-utf8.patch' needs to be adjusted (or dropped? not sure)
for Guile 2.2.

My naive attempt (attached) doesn't work. At the end of building a
package, or perhaps after it's built, Guix prints 'uncaught exception'
and seems to hang forever.
